Of course we do - we are just not allowed to talk about it….

I have real issues with the way they put rubber bands on plastic bags here so i cannot open them and end up cutting the off with scissors. it used to be far worse with similar problems for carrier bags which ended up with knots in the top but, since they banned them, my stress levels have improved significantly.

I am well aware that other govts have had data stolen from databases . The bit i struggle to understand is the people that seem to defend the govt for having unsecured databases and where those criticising them for it are called ‘bashers’ apart from the govts themselves and their pr shills. Very few would find it acceptable because someone else did it before.

non of these look to be leaks from a govt database.

100,000 visitors spending 1.2bn baht is only 12,000 baht each. Since they will have to pay 14 days for hotel fees can’t see there been much left.

i assume i will get these details with second jab. The moph say that the morprom app can do this however you need either thai id no or a 13 digit reference number which is allocated by hospital and, if you need the number, to contact hospital that administered jab. i did not take a copy of my docs before handing them back so not sure if this 13 digit number is on there. I did try the app with my pink id card number but it did said it was not in system - would be surprised if it was as everything registered under passport no.

There is a set of paperwork with a copy of your passport showing your details that they also manually add things like weight, height and bp to. The nurse puts the sticker from the vaccine with serial/batch details on it when giving the injection and writes the time on it. After you sat for 30 mins afterwards the time was checked and they took the paperwork back. I assume these details are input to a central database as they have some way of knowing when the initally check that you have not been vaccinated elsewhere as apparently some have been turned away. I beleive there may be a reference number on there to register for the moph digital passport thingy but i forgot to take a copy before they took it back but i assume this will be given at second vaccine in three weeks anyway. the only bit you take away is the one Tingtong shows above.

It is the same one i used tuesday morning. Got appointment for next day that evening by sms and got given pfizer vaccine yesterday.

If it is the Dr Tim Spector interview you are referring to I am pretty certain he did not make the claim you attributed to him - it would be a pretty big turnaround given the BBC interview with him over the same study he did states: “Prof Spector said: "Waning protection is to be expected and is not a reason to not get vaccinated. “ https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58322882 if it is someone else making these claims them maybe you could back it up a bit.

I completed form yesterday morning and got sms back in the evening. Just leaving to get my pfizer jab which is booked for between 2pm and 3pm. The link is for any non-thai over 40 that has not yet received any jab.

If the second dose of pfizer is in 3 weeks that is possibly the date they are working to - need to do first dose at least three weeks before expiry date and hold second doses if no guarantee of further supply before then.

this one is for under 60s

i do live in Pattaya. The form needs your BPH hospital number so for people who have a number i guess.

Options now in Pattaya as well - i completed form with Bangkok Pattaya Hospital this morning for +40s and have appointment for pfizer vac tomorrow.

sorry to quote my own post but completed this google form this morning and just had sms to get pfizer vaccine tomorrow at Central Festival - I am under 60 with no underlying conditions.

Yes - those registered at BPH can apply directly. Currently taking details for +40s. https://www.bangkokpattayahospital.com/en/hospital-news-en/press-release-en/item/3046-covid-vaccine-non-thai-residents-en.html
